JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER
(Ryan's Version)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: FIRST THING EVERY MORNING ON THE RADIO
IT'S BILL MONROE FOR BREAKFAST AND THEN OFF TO SCHOOL I GO
BLUEGRASS PLAYS ALL THRU THE DAYS OF SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER EVERY NIGHT WE HAVE THEM JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

CHORUS: MR. JIMMY MARTIN IS THE KING
HE KEEPS OUR HOME TOGETHER WITH
THE WAY HE PICKS AND SINGS
EVEN MY OLE HUNTIN' DOG
HAS GOT SOME BEAGLE IN HER
SHE SINGS ALONG WHEN WE HAVE
JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

VERSE 2: I HAD A CRUSH ON OUR HOMECOMING QUEEN
SHE DIDN'T THINK THAT I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE SCENE
SHE HEARD MY BANJO PICKIN' NOW SHE KNOWS THAT I'M A WINNER
SHE WANTS TO HEAR ME PLAY THEM JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: MR. JIMMY IS THE KING, NO DOUBT
I CAN HOLLER LIKE HIM WE TURN THE COON DOGS OUT
I'LL LEARN TO SING JUST LIKE THE KING AND WHEN I'M IN MY TEENS
I HOPE THAT I'LL BE HEARING JIMMY MARTIN IN MY DREAMS

REPEAT CHORUS
